It was one of the last films run on Sunday. I hadn't seen the film in a long time, and didn't remember how good Phyllis Barry was in it. That's the one.  How does this rate on the Fwancis Scale?  Better than The White Angel, worse than Trouble in Paradise?   Has this ever been shown on TCM?  It's one I haven't yet seen. Frederica CYNARA is a Goldwyn film, so it wouldn't be in the TCM library, although that doesn't mean TCM couldn't license it. CYNARA is available on VHS in Great Britian, which would be PAL, of course.

I don't know if drag is ever intended to fool anyone, is it?  I think we are supposed to be in on the deception and revel in the sleight of...er...hand. There was once this person named Geoffrey Gann, perhaps better known as Karen Dior...he/she appeared in an episode of Xena: Warrior Princess as an entrant in a beauty contest...at one point Xena finds out his/her secret and swears not to reveal it to the judges, but if they hadn't made it a plot point, I imagine a lot of the viewing audience might have gone right on thinking that this character was simply a conventional if stunning woman.... (Mind you, naming the character Miss Artiphys was a bit of a giveaway)....r

There is a great Julian Eltinge web page at http://www.thejulianeltingeproject.com/ I have photos of Virginia from the Academy's file on An Adventuress/Isle of Love...whatever.  The scenes from those stills don't appear in the final, final, FINAL, DO YOU HEAR?? cut of the film.  Which is too bad, because although I *think* she designed the clothing she was wearing in the version we all saw, I *know* she designed the clothing she's wearing in the stills.   Frederica Frederica

These reviews are so disappointing
